In. the progress of the testimony, a sharp tilt occurred between counsel. The question, did (Stokes make any state? ment aa to whether ho was going any? where on the morning of killing Fisk waa asked of a witness, but the Judge thought it inadmissible Tremaine argued its admissibility, as being part* of the connecting link of evidence which would prove that his presence at the Grand Central Hotel was not with a mur? derous intent. The District Attorney re? plied, supporting the inadmissibility of the question, to which Tromaiue re? sponded very sharply, condemning the oourae of the District Attorney and of the press. He alluded to the District Attorney having private counsel in this caso in a sarcastic manner, to which the District Attorney responded by calling Tremaine's attention to tho faot tbut he, (Tremaine,) waa employed us a private counsel to assist the State Attorney in the Cole murder case, and also referred to the fact that Tremaine's associate was private counsel for Mrs. M nus li old in u libel suit against Fisk, as well as private counsel in the Cauoime murder case.

July C The Oase or Captain W. H. Trtzersnt Before Commiiilontr Boozer. Tbe case of the United States vs. W. H. Trezevant, which- was announced ic our last issue as commenced at this place before Albert M. Boozer, United States Commissioner, was resumed on Wednesday morning, 26th ultimo. The defendaut was represented by Messrs. F. W. Fiokling, of Colombia, and S. P. Hamilton, of this place, as his counsel. At the outset of the case, it being dis? covered tbat Mr. Boozer, the Commis? sioner, had established himself at the headquarters of Major W. H. Brown, the commanding officer of the United States forces nt this post, the counsel for the prisoner addressed a communica? tion lo the Commissioner, suggesting the impropriety of such a place for the investigation of a matter purely civil, and respectfully requesting thut some other locality bo chosen, naming the Court House. To this haviug received no answer, the counsel, per force re? paired to the military headquarters, and found the Uuited Stutcs Commissioner located in the office of the commanding officer of the post, the latter being him? self then and there present. The coun? sel for Mr. Trezevaut then iu form laid their objection to going ou with thc case at Major Brown's office before tin Commissioner, stating that it did nol need argument to show that it was uu entirely improper piuco for such a pur pose, und particularly urged that tbi mere presence of the military, and espe ciully of tue commanding officer thereof bad a very injurious influence on the minds of a certain class of witnesses who would be called ou to testify in thii case. Mr. BuoZir. the Commissioner replying to tho objections ns urged ty Mr. Hamilton, said that he thought tba gentleman "very hasty and his remark very uunecessury nud uncalled for.' Mujor Brown, the commandant, tool part in tho discussion, and ?tated tba far from seeing any impropriety in tb matter, he considered the headquarter "tho most proper of all places." 'T this the counsel replied that the fact u the commanding officer of the troop making any remark whatever ttb iuflu euee the action of a civil tribunal wn the highest evidence they could offer c the justice of their objection. At thb tho court adjourned for the day, and th counsel for Mr. Trezevaut had reason t hope that Mr. Commissioner Booze would graut their reasonable request i i this behalf. The next niorniug, thei gentlemen received a letter from hil stating that tho case would go ou i "my office," and straightway they mad diligent search for such place, but di i covered that "my office" meui.t the ollie of Mujor W. H. Brown, 18th Unite Stutcs Infantry, commanding tho po nt Chester, South Carolina, which sai "my office" is surrouuded on every sit by the camps of two companies of mfa try and part of u company of cavalr, At this suitable place, then, the Commi siouer insisted on proceeding with tl case, to whiob determination the cou sel filed a written protest. The iuves gation then proceeded. At Columbia some testimony had be< taken, which it wus agreed should for part of the case. The only witness there who pretended to connect the ti fendant with any act at Chester in Marc 1871, were George Westbrook, colore and one Goodman, white. The form swore that he saw the defendant in Chi ter on the night of the 6th of Marc 1871. and that he, with others, was c gaged in the disturbances, und took frc the witness his militia gun. The In gage manifest of the Charlotte, Colu bia and Augusta Railroad, signed by t defendant as oonductor, showed it to an impossibility for the defendaut 1 have been in Chester on Monday nigl aud therefore the testimony of We brook to be a deliberate piece of perju Goodman, the other witness, of eqi speed with his colored brother, testiti that he carno np from Winn&boro on I traiu and arrived at Chester at 10 o'clc on the eveuing of Tuesday, the 7th March, and saw the defendant at 1 house of one Peter Agurs, colored, < gaged, with others, in a raid on s Agurs' house. The schedules of 1 company showed the arrival of the tn at Chester to have occurred on that d at 3 o'clock in tbe morning, another stance of perjury most bare-faced. 1 only other witness for the Governm who pretended to connect Mr. Trezev with tho occurrences iu tbe town Chester on the night of the 6th of Mar 1871, was the veracious and well-kno Ben. Michael, colored, or rather c black politician of this town. He sw that he knew Mr. Trezevant well; t when the firing oommenced nt Reist house, he, with George Westbro started for the scene of action; and w! they arrived in front of the store of 1 John L. Agurs, they were met b orowd who ordered them to bait, and force took from them their guns, t being members of the National Gu State militia, and tbat tbe defeudi Trezevant, was one of tbe number. '. offioial records of tho Charlotte, Col bia and Augusta Railroad, proved by testimony of Mr. Thomas Davaul clerk in the general freight and til office of tho company, showed Trezevant, as couduotor in charge of regular day train, left Augusta on morning of the 6th of March, 1871, arrived in Charlotte at 7.30 P. M., of same day. Mr. Turner, the nonda of the night train whioh left Charl for Augusta shortly after, testified he left Mr. Trezevaut in Oharlott that evening; swore positively thai did not come down with him to Che: that there was no other traiu he c have oome down on that night, and it was impossible for him to have bee Chester on Monday night, the Gt! March, 1871. The other testimony for the Gov ment was Peter Agurs, George Jaoh Carter Ross, Tom. Lee aud John Li Neither of them pretended to prove defendant, Trezevant, as being prei and Lee swore that he knew him well. The Commissioner seemed to get sick of George Jackson an a witness, and it is doubtful if he even took his testimony down. This, then, was the eas* made out by tho Government, and with which Mr. Stone, tho District Attorney, was will? ing to rest. It will bo seen at once that so fur UH tho defendant is concerned, there was au entire failure to show him as being connected with a conspiracy of any kiud, aud it is a singular fact in this cuse that by the Govcrumeut witnesses he wus not shown to have been in Ches? ter ou the night when hu wus actually here, to wit: on Tuesday, 7th of March, 1871; but only sworn to huvo been here on Monday night, while he was quietly iu tho town of Charlotte. It is u very good illustration of the value of the tes? timony of the class of witnesses used by the Government in prosecutions under the lato oppressive enactmeuts of Con? gress. Ou the last duy of the investigation before Mr. Commissioner Boozer, (Fri day lust,) there occurred a little episode in the proceedings, which would be ex ccediugly ludicrous, but that it shower how far we have drifted from tho ok landmarks of civil liberty. It had been observed by the counse for the prisoner that Major Brown, thi commandant of the post, hud been tak ing greut interest in the progress of thi case; was constantly in consultation wit] the Commissioner, aud present almos all of the time of tho examination o witnesses. Ou the last day ho took hi seat immediately iu rear of the Commis siouer. Mr. YV. H. Hardin was beiu? cross-exarniued by tho Commhsionet It was observed that the commandan made frequent suggestions to the Com missioner; examined affidavits and pt pcrs connected with the cause; and fina ly suggested a question for tho witnes in a very audible voice. The followiu colloquy between Mr. Hamilton, one c tho counsel for the defence, and Mi Boozer, the United Stutes Commissions then occurred: Mr. Hamilton-"Mr. Commissione I do most seriously object to any iute ference whatever on the part of the con inauiliug officer of this post in the coi duct of this case." ?Mr. Boozer (with great heat)-"Yo are very disrespectful to this court, si and I will not pitt up with it, sir, or a low myself to bu interrupted in th manuer; I will have order, sir, in ir court." Mr. Hamilton -"I do not see, M Commissioner, that I have been gail of any disrespect; it certaiuly is u right to make any ohjectiou in behalf our client, provided it be respectful done." Mr. Boozer-"Well, sir, (with i creased excitement) if vou are not disi spectful to the court, you are very disi spectful and insulting to Mujor Brown Mr. Hamilton-"I would beg to sa Mr. Commissioner, that I um not disi spectful or insulting to Mujor Brown; has no bu.- i ness with this case, and tl is tho very ground of my objection 3*ou, which I hopo I c iu here respe fully urge." Mr. Boozer (uow at fever heat) - will not be interrupted, sir; I will ht order in my court, 6ir. You uro gui of great disrespect to tho court." Mr. Hamilton-"I am guilty of disrespect to the court." Mr. Boozer-"Mr. Murshall Mr. M 'shal! where is my Marshal?" ; This call was for a Deputy Marshal the United States, who this Comn sioner carries around with him, it is si posed, to inspire uwe for the court r. terror iu tho minds of the innocent t timid. He wus at lust, after some til found by Mr. Boozer, who Hew out thu room in search of him. Mr. Boozer (on his return)-'K Marshal, I command you to keep or in this court; if anybody interferes vt my court, do your duty." Mr. Marshal-"Give your orders, s Mr. Hamilton-"Mr. Commissioue wish you to understand that I know w my rights aud what my chant's rig are before you, and I do not purpose allow the slightest interference on part of the military with this cause." Mr. Boozer-"And I will tell you, that I will not allow any interfere with the military by civilians. (In g temper.) Mr. Marshal! Mr. Mars keep order; do your duty." Mr. Marshal-"Give|your order?, I will obey thom." Mr. Hamilton-"Now, Mr. Corni sioner, make your Marshal arrest me am here; let him arrest me; I do know that I can successfully resist you have within fifty yards of you companies of infuutry und half a c pany of cavalry." At this point, Mr. Pickling, the o and senior counsel for the prisoner terfered, with a mild remark or tw< Mr. Hamilton's position, which gave Commissioner time to cool. It is t ciunt to say that Mr. Hamilton was arrested, and it may not bu impert? to say that a Commissioner of the irict Court of the United States hu right to commit bim for a contei even if he had been guilty of BU thing. This Commissioner's brui evidently turned by being coutini surrounded in tho execution of functions of his o fl ice "by all tho p and glorious circumstance of war." Thus ended the case-one which cost tho Government a great dei money, and has no merit in it what. lu order to show any.offence agains laws of tho United States, by the del ant, it was necessary for the Governi to prove ono of two things-either there existed a conspiracy among citizens of Chester, such as is menti in the "Enforcement Act," and tba defendant came here and became and parcel of it; or that ho was one conspiracy in North Carolina foi purposes, aud came to Chester to out its object nnd purposes. To t lish either propositiou the Govern eutirely failed. This community bas been mach, in trutb, intensely, interested in the inves? tigation of Mr. Trezevant's case; be? cause it has been accepted as a general arraignment of the citizens of this town. They have been aware that for months every artifice of power has been used to involve the entire community in acrimi? na^ prosecution io the courts of the United States. It has been known that to get up such a case every debased, vioious and idle vagrant of the neighbor? hood has been sedulously pumped for information and testimony to convict the very best citizens of this place. The case is now before his Houor Judge Bryuu, and the curious may there read the testimony, and reading* judge how slanderous the charge in. [ Chester Reporter. Ki mim lui im.? Commercial.
